Defensive lineman DeShawn Williams has had an interesting path for an NFL career.
At 29 years old, the 2022 season will be just his fourth in the pros. After being drafted to the Cleveland Browns in 2016, he didn’t make a 53-man roster until 2020 with the Denver Broncos. Denver re-signed him to a new contract this past spring.
